  1. This is the picture on Facebook. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  2. Attached is the shirt for the Virginia Skydiving Center Grand Opening. It's a priceless collectors item already. http://bodacious-event-1392.ticketbud.com/virginia-skydiving-center I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  3. A Memorial Service and Celebration of Howard White's life will be taking place at Jumptown on Saturday, May 26th at 6 PM. After his family speaks an ash dive and barbecue will take place. Please let Diane Pond know if you would like to formally speak. Please pass this on to anyone who I may have missed. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  4. Mom pulled me off the tit when I got teeth, been trying to get back on one ever since. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  5. Anyone who voted for Clinton or Obama must not have served in the US Armed Forces. Clinton who was quoted as "loathing the Military" let Vietnam Veterans Benefits expire that Regain had created and Bush continued. Obama plans on gutting our Military Services just like Clinton did. If you voted for Obama in 2008 to show your not a racists, you can vote for Romney in 2012 and show your not an idiot. Steve N US Air Force 1966-70 I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  6. The Pop Top was invented by Dan Poynter (while working for Ted Strong) based on an Air Force back pack. John Sherman bought the rights and adapted it to the SST/Racer. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  7. Chris Wagner has been added as an organizer for the memorial day boogie! His plans changed so he can make it to the event! Be sure to register ahead of time for this AWESOME bogie! http://bodacious-event-1392.ticketbud.com/virginia-skydiving-center I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  8. An open faced helmet, with goggles you can replace for $15.00. What a concept. The only problem is you will not look cool and groovy. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  9. Good news is we added Doug Barron as an organizer for our boogie! I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  10. From Diane Pond: I just spoke with Howard White's brother and he and his other brother need some time to think about what type of Memorial Service they want to do and when and where they want to do it. They will be in touch over the next few days and will let us know what they decide. It is most likely going to take place in the New England area since he did not travel to DC much and one of his brothers does live in Peterborough. They do not have a date at this time. I will let everyone know when I hear more. For now they are asking that people respect their privacy and give them time to do what they need to do.

  15. What you Dad should look at is the Firebolt. http://jumpshack.com/ Soft openings and easy landings. It's the best all around main canopy I've ever jumped. And it will get you back from a bad spot. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  16. Jim Hooper has rewritten his first book to be re-published. It's out next month, with the official launch a few weeks later at the Imperial War Museum in the UK. The "British Army Review", the official publication of all UK ground forces, will be serializing part of it. Check the link. http://30degreessouth.co.uk/ggbooks.html I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  17. Stop by the DZ, make some jumps. Ask if anybody needs an AAD while your there. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  18. Tuna, my man. I got email from Jim Hooper about the show, it was filmed 5 years ago for The History Channel. Most of the still picture's from Africa were Jim's. Jim also wrote to me--- "the production company producer was one serious hottie. Absolutely gorgeous girl." I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  19. Just watched Jim Hooper on the Military Channel. The program is called "Shoulders for Hire". Jim does an excellent commentary on Africa and he's looking good in a suit. The show started with the history of mercenaries going way back and right up to today's chaos. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  20. Before this thread ends I have to say from experience. There's no rush like ground rush ! I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  21. Have you looked at the Racer 2K3 From Parachute Laboratories Inc, in Deland Florida ? Also known as http://jumpshack.com/ The Racer has a track record of performance with the "Reserve Deployment System". That will be important when you cutaway low or your AAD fires at 750 feet.

  22. I jumped at Woodbine many times during the 70's. Great place, nice grass field. First time I was there was with Dave Bellak. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  23. The bar on the airport is http://www.airportginmill.com/ it's been there forever. Great place to go for lunch and get away from the Skydiving crowd. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  24. Can't find a Norm's Place anywhere. How long ago were you there ? I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  25. Just got back from the Rendez-Vous restaurant in Deland. This was our second visit. http://www.rendezvousdeland.com/ I highly recommend it after a day of jumping at Skydive Deland. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
